Saw these tires pop up on Tire Rack and was curious if anyone has seen them in the wild yet. Are they replacing the AT3 4S tires? Sounds like they are per this Tire Rack comparison. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=320

I have a 2016 Trail (now the TRD OR) and I haven’t done any mods other than swapping tires. So looking at the TRD wheels in bronze and a new suspension. Questions: 1/ Does anyone have pics of the bronze TRD wheels on a stock mag gray 4Runner? Under google image search I can’t find the bronze on...

I’m in Maine and right now I’m running Duratracs. I had the KO2s originally and they were fine on dry pavement, deep snow and mud but awful on wet pavement (forget about ice). A lot of the plow truck guys run Duratracs in my area so I grabbed a set of them. The Duratracs are better on wet...

If you ask for tire suggestions, you’ll get 100 different recommendations. Also I find it funny when I see posts from people living in Phoenix or Southern California give tire advice to people living in northern New England…or vice versa. I see you live in NC and I’m in Maine so I’m not going...

Just a follow up to my original post after the winter. Installed them in mid November and now it's beginning of Aprii. The 2018/19 winter here in Maine was average and I definitely got to put the ATW's through their paces in driving conditions ranging from torrential rain to freezing rain to...

I just swapped out BFG KO2's for Cooper Discoverer ATW's and I wanted to post my initial thoughts and observations. So far in November, we've had over a foot of snow in the last couple weeks and some sleet and freezing rain. Luckily I put the ATW's on a few days before the first storm and...

-Size: 265/70R17 -Load Rating: E -Tire Pressure: 37 -Miles: 25,000 -Lift/Excessive Loading/Trailering: None -Your experience: I loved the look of the KO2s but last week I swapped my KO2's out at 25,000 miles for Cooper ATW's. I thought the KO2s were an OK tire but at around 20k miles I noticed...

nevada I don't have a lead foot and I've never encountered the breaking traction before on other tires in wet conditions (until I had the KO2's). Per my post above, it didn't start happening until 20k miles with the KO2's.

I agree with the Waco Kid...each of us drives in different climates with different conditions, so a tire that works great in Montana might not be that great in Florida. That being said, I have 25k miles on a set of OEM size KO2's in Load E (the shop I went to put on the load E's since I just...

I’m looking at buying my first set of winter tires (settled on Blizzak DM-V2). My questions are: 1/ Do I need an extra set of rims to mount them on or can I just swap them out on the existing rim when the seasons change? 2/ If I do need an extra set of rims, do I need to get the TPMS programmed...

I also have run into this problem. I have about 20k on my Load E KO2s and I'm finding the exact same issues when it comes to wet traction. I guess I'll have to run Blizzak's this winter because I don't trust the KO2s at all. I run the Load E's at 42psi.

I was looking to fit the Thule Sonic XL cargo box on the factory rails a few months ago. After a bunch of research, it looked the cargo box would work but the mounting "claws" on the cargo box would touch the roof when the claws were open. So when putting it on you have to be careful before...

I was looking off and on for a year for a used Trail...the Toyota Truck Tax is unbelievable until you witness it...used 4Runners that I thought would sit for months at crazy prices (or at least I thought were crazy) would sell within a couple weeks or even days sometimes. The dealers within a...

Also I'm looking to upgrade the suspension. The ride feels squishy and sometimes I feel like I'm in a bouncy house. Anyone have any suggestions on suspensions that give a better ride than stock (I'm not interested in lifting). Thanks

Ha! What tires did you end up getting to replace the OEM tires? I still haven't changed tires but I think I'm going with the BFG KO2's. But the Load C vs E thing is hanging me up.
